Probably wouldn't argue too much with that pick at all.

There hasn't been too much to get excited about in the world of music since the 1980's so it wouldn't take much to be the - um - "best" this past decade.

This, I'm assuming had to be based solely off of record sales and nothing else.
Not so much that I gripe with Eminem (although, I suppose I do a bit...)
But, Nickelback was named the top group?
HAD to be all about units moved this decade.

^^ The list was done by Billboard so I am sure it was based on record sales. You might hate Nickelback, but you can't argue the success they have had this decade with their album sales.

Haha people actually BUY CD's. I like Eminem, so I don't disagree with this pick, although he hasn't had a very good album since The Eminem Show. I don't really like Rap at all though, other then him.Strapping Young Lad wrote: Haha!!!! People actually buy Nickelback records....

Shitty pick, but I don't often agree with mainstream music critics--maybe because mainstream radio junk isn't the best of the best. I love Eminem but he's no where near the artist of the decade. It's just all about what sells--funniest thing is, the things that sell are what the jam down peoples throats.
That being said, I'd much rather see him win it than someone like Beyonce lol.

I agree w/ the pick...Em is great, better than any other rapper. Writes his own material unlike many other pop stars. Who else would it be?? 50 Cent??? Yeah right....

Every now and then I am thankful that I am a child of the sixties and grew up with some great music. This is certainly one of those times.

Meh, I don't really care about this award, but I definitely don't think Em was the artist of the decade.

I actually think this was a fantastic decade for music. Even popular music, to a degree.
This award was based off of what sold the most albums. That's the sole criteria. I'm sure if other criteria was included, maybe Eminem and Nickelback wouldn't be the top artist/group.
But, I also spend about 95% of my time around music in some fashion or another, so I can see why a casual listener might think music was poor this decade, but for me, I think it was just fine. I found that a lot of great bands came out post-2004, and a LOT of albums that will likely be considered classic records 20 years down the road.

Big fan of pre-Encore Eminem...not sure I can agree with anybody who declares that Nickelback is the top group.

Which ones? At least in rock, the about the only decent newer band I can think of is Airbourne.
